This episode continues to drive home the point that Saito is so lucky and yet so unlucky/stupid at the same time. Fortunately this generates lots of slapstick between him and Louise. Along those lines, that kiss Saito gave Henrietta was a great way to start the episode on a funny note. All in all, this episode shows that Louise is not suited for a job in the service industry...or a job at all for that matter.

I would think it was a simple case of ignorance on his part, though I've never seen someone so ignorant of the societal rules of the nobility as well as their customs.:heh: It was really a good way to start an episode....

Saito's really hot stuff for girls, eh?:eyespin:

Good way to start the ep off with the kissing scene. Can't wait to see how the story develops in next ep too...with the way this ep ended

May I also ask something? Although I watch this series there's a couple of words I can't understand. Can someone explain to me why does Louise need money bad? Thats the only part I couldn't translate myself.

Spoiler for Episode 7:

When Louise hid on the closet to change into her maid outfit, does this mean that she gets embaressed when she gets dressed in front of Saito?

Anrietta gave them some funding to cover their expenses on the mission.
Ruizu seems to want to squander it all on a horse and expensive inn rooms, rather than slumming it like she should.

However, the main reason its confusing to you is that this episode is taken out of context with the novels, and in the anime there is no reason to suspect she would be on a tight budget being a rich noble and all.

So there not really in a tight budget but its a mission?

One reason could be that she really spent so much money for medicine in ep 2 plus she bought that sword too. They haven't really said that she's rich noble.

If you grabbed a Japanese Bloke off the streets of Akibahara, (electric heaven for the Gadget Geek) Which Saito is assumed to be walking to or from as he is seen holding a Laptop, in modern Japan.

Yeah I'm sure they will know EXACTLY what to do when you meet a gaijin queen, like you do everyday in Japan, and show proper behaviour when your been commended for your action.

Yes really, it's all common sense, to a typical Japanese Teenager, I mean they knows about princesses, queens, knights, fantasy western tales in Japan right? it's something native to Japan right? I mean it is mandatory to teach them that in a far eastern educational institute, right? Right?

sleeping beauty tale is so popluar in Japan, it definitely showed everyone that as a knight/hero you must kiss her hand for her to wake up, right?
It's sooooo common sense.
How could those japanese animators make such a mistake?
I mean really...

Maybe he knew, but couldn't resist giving her a real kiss. I might do the same thing if I was him. And then apologize to Louise with another kiss and hope that I survived.

Well, that is possible, considering Saito has a will (and balls) of steel when it comes to women. :rolleyes:

Will nothing. His pouch must be made of croc-leather to survive all the kickings thus far, and in the future to come.

okay. he also has balls of steel. or at leased super recoverable ones.

He really should learn, and get a groin guard or something. :D

I swear it's animes like this that is teaching this generation of women that it is socially acceptable to beat your bloke about.

Well I THINK YOU ALL WRONG!!! Purposely, Saito enjoys being hit by girls/women. Therefore, he does things that he deserved getting hit ^_^ xD[/sarcasm=or is it?]

If Saito sticks with Louise in the end --- and he doesn't get hit by the other girls interested in him --- I think you got a point.

I'm still waiting for Rie Rie Kugimiya to say "Urusai! Urusai! Urusai!" really fast. She almost said "Baka! Baka! Baka!"

Saito definitely shows a lot more character, and decisiveness that Yuuji, while maybe still being a bit dense about girls. If this series is only 13 episodes or so, it would be a real bummer. I'd love to see how Saito and Louise's characters develop over the course of a longer run of 26 or even 52 episodes.

@marcosy

Well who knows... It can have a second series but thats in the future. I don't think their gonna make Ruiz say "Urusai! Urusai! Urusai!", but if you wanna hear it badly, you can go to episode one and when she said Urusai. just make it replay. That way it really will sound like it saying"Urusai! Urusai! Urusai!" ^_^

Maids! Maids! Maids!

Sarcasm or not, this is a legitimate question. I'm not saying he's an outright masochist, but for some people, there's a thin line between punishment and reward. He does seem to knowingly piss Louise off from time to time. The consequences or "punishments," like so many other elements of this series, do seem to have erotic undercurrents.
